Hello, everybody. I am glad to see that all of you braved the weather to be here. A little while... |
| 00:01:12 |
|
The meeting did go well, and I appreciate them making the trek. We had a good and frank conversation... |
| 00:01:23 |
|
We all understand that there are legitimate and genuine differences between the parties, but despite... |
| 00:01:56 |
|
That's why I'm going to continue to seek the best ideas from either party as we work to tackle the... |
| 00:02:55 |
|
We also talked about restoring fiscal responsibility. There are few matters on which there is as... |
| 00:03:24 |
|
I'm pleased that Congress supported my request to restore the pay-as-you-go rule, which was instrumental... |
| 00:04:20 |
|
During our meeting we also touched briefly on how we can move forward on health reform. I've already... |
| 00:05:03 |
|
We also talked about why this is so urgent. Just this week, there was a report that Anthem Blue Cross,... |
| 00:05:38 |
|
Now, bipartisanship depends on a willingness among both Democrats and Republicans to put aside matters... |
| 00:06:45 |
|
One senator, as you all are aware, had put a hold on every single nominee that we had put forward... |
| 00:07:26 |
|
My hope is that this will be the first of a series of meetings that I have with leadership of both... |
| 00:07:58 |
|
So, you know, I'm going to take a couple of questions, guys. |
| 00:08:00 |
|
Major. |
| 00:08:04 |
|
After meeting with you, John Boehner came out and told us, "The House can't pass the health care bill... |
| 00:08:28 |
|
Well, here's how I responded to John in the meeting, and I've said this publicly before. There are... |
| 00:11:51 |
|
Do you agree the House and Senate bill can't pass anymore? |
| 00:11:55 |
|
What I agree with is that the public has soured on the process that they saw over the last year. ... |
| 00:12:56 |
|
Mr. President, one of the reasons Anthem said -- Anthem Blue Cross says that it's raising its premiums... |
| 00:13:33 |
|
Well, I think that the biggest uncertainty has been we just went through the worst recession since... |
| 00:16:33 |
|
Just to play devil's advocate on that -- a small business, let's say, not somebody who's going to... |
| 00:16:54 |
|
The small businesses I talk to --- and I've been talking to a lot of them as I've been traveling around... |
| 00:17:41 |
|
You heard McConnell talk about nuclear power, offshore drilling, free trade -- that's a lot of Republican... |
| 00:17:50 |
|
You know, I think that on energy there should be a bipartisan agreement that we have to take a both/and... |
| 00:20:08 |
|
How confident are you there will be that kind of consensus for that double-edged approach? |
| 00:20:14 |
|
I am just a eternal optimist -- (laughter) -- and so -- it's the right thing to do. And all I can... |
| 00:20:48 |
|
How about the back? (Laughter.) |
| 00:20:52 |
|
Well, I just want to make sure that I was getting a balance here, so -- go ahead, Chuck. |
| 00:20:59 |
|
Awwww -- |
| 00:21:01 |
|
Why is everybody moaning about Todd? |
| 00:21:04 |
|
He's too good. His questions are too precise. (Laughter.) Iran -- we got the news today that... |
| 00:21:39 |
|
Well, it's moving along fairly quickly. I think that we have bent over backwards to say to the Islamic... |
| 00:24:01 |
|
Haven't they responded, though? I mean, by deciding to do what they did, with these -- |
| 00:24:03 |
|
Well, I'm getting to that. |
| 00:24:04 |
|
Okay. |
| 00:24:04 |
|
And if not, then the next step is sanctions. They have made their choice so far, although the door... |
| 00:24:28 |
|
What do you mean by “regime of sanctions”? |
| 00:24:30 |
|
Well, meaning that there's going to be a -- |
| 00:24:32 |
|
Some will be U.N. and some will be -- |
| 00:24:33 |
|
We are going to be looking at a variety of ways in which countries indicate to Iran that their approach... |
| 00:24:47 |
|
China will be there? You're confident? |
| 00:24:48 |
|
Well, the -- we are confident right now that the international community is unified around Iran's... |
| 00:25:34 |
|
Me? |
| 00:25:35 |
|
Yes. |
| 00:25:36 |
|
Thanks for doing this. It's been a while. (Laughter.) On health care, the Republicans are asking... |
| 00:25:57 |
|
Well, I don't have the authority as I understand it -- I can't simply issue an executive order lowering... |
| 00:31:07 |
|
Jobs question? |
| 00:31:08 |
|
Okay, since there wasn't a jobs question -- |
| 00:31:09 |
|
Well, I just -- |
| 00:31:10 |
|
I'll make this the last one, jobs question. |
| 00:31:14 |
|
At the stakeout, the Republicans were saying, well, the jobs package we've seen, it's not really ready... |
| 00:31:24 |
|
Well, my understanding is -- first of all, the House has moved forward a jobs package that has some... |
